Elle est professeure agrégée à l’École de développement international et mondialisation de l’Université d’Ottawa et membre du Centre de recherche et d’enseignement sur les droits de la personne. Elle coanime, avec professeure Emily Regan Wills, Mobilisation communautaire en crise, un projet qui cocrée, en collaboration avec des mobilisateurs communautaires de partout dans le monde, des ressources éducatives en plusieurs langues et en accès libre, et soutient l’utilisation de ces ressources au niveau transnational pour la mobilisation de communautés.
La professeure Abu-Zahra a publié des articles sur de nombreux sujets, dont la justice de genre en contexte colonial et conflictuel et les conséquences de l’(im)mobilité géographique sur l’éducation et la santé. Elle s’intéresse depuis longtemps à la pédagogie et travaille de près avec les services universitaires et les groupes de recherche sur l’enseignement et l’apprentissage actif, expérientiel et engagé auprès de la communauté. Elle a également été finaliste pour le Prix d’excellence en enseignement de la capitale du Réseau d’Ottawa pour l’éducation. Ses recherches portent sur les conséquences de tous les jours des situations de crise et les espaces qui permettent d’agir lorsque ces dernières se produisent, et, plus récemment, sur le rôle des établissements d’enseignement supérieur dans la transformation des relations de pouvoir et l’ouverture d’espaces qui favorisent le développement de relations saines et responsables. Elle a eu l’honneur d’être parmi les premiers membres du comité de réconciliation de la Fédération des sciences humaines et a été élue administratrice du conseil de la Fédération de 2011 à 2015.
